USA or Brazil to win it all, Germany are not what they once were - lack the physical mettle or, indeed, anyone but Prinz - and England have shown little at the highest level, European Cup win for Arsenal notwithstanding.

Naaaaah, Australia will win it without even breaking a sweat, obviously

So it seems. Didn't win a game last time around, either - lost 6-0 to Japan, 6-1 to Germany and 3-0 to Canada. Doesn't say much for women's football in South America that they're the holders of the Sudamericano Femenino (Copa America equivalent) and came second to Brazil in the previous three tournaments. Only ever beaten Brazil, who AFAIK are the only South Americans with a professional league, once though.
